Taxes. Necessary?

Below is a partial list of taxes that were not in existence 100 years ago. Now, I believe that taxes are necessary to run the government, but as you read this list, you will notice that government (federal, state and local) is in every aspect of our lives. I don't know about you, but I think that we need to trim government and trim taxes. Get government out of our lives and let us live. We are drowning in a sea of taxes and red tape. No tax has ever stimulated the economy, but tax cuts have. The more money that employers get to keep, the more money they will have for hiring. The more people who are employed, the more people can spend. The more people spend, the more money employers have to hire new employees. I know, it is a vicious cycle, but I think it is one we can live with.
